Neuro-Endocrine Communication

Meaning

Neuro-Endocrine Communication describes the essential, bidirectional signaling network through which the nervous system and the endocrine system coordinate to regulate virtually all physiological functions and maintain systemic homeostasis. This integrated system allows the body to translate rapid electrical signals from the brain into slower, sustained chemical messages via hormones. The hypothalamic-pituitary unit serves as the crucial anatomical and functional bridge for this continuous crosstalk.
